We know you care so much about your students. I want to tell you a little bit about my child. Although he really loves to learn, he is somewhat anxious about being back in school again.My child is thought to be gifted and that has brought some unexpected challenges to him and our family. To many people, being gifted means he will do very well in school, but that hasnt always been true for him. He is just a kid thinking differently, and he sometimes struggles in school. Last year, school wasnt easy for him for a few reasons.He may be ahead a few grade levels in some subjects, but not in all subjects. He just doesnt do better in all areas all the time. And although he may seem older than his years, he doesnt always behave like you would think he should. Im sure you know how gifted children can be emotionally immature that is exactly my kid.Also, he can be really intense in class when you are teaching one of his favorite topics. He may raise his hand often and constantly talk about what he thinks about it. Ill apologize in advance because he will also likely challenge you on information or facts which he feels are not quite right especially when its a topic he is hooked on. He is not being impolite and he isnt just being a know-it-all, or a show-off, he is really just very excited to be learning about a subject he feels strong about. He just gets carried away!Last year, he was teased about looking like a know-it-all in school by some of his classmates, which hurts him A LOT. Being teased is part of his fear of going back to school. He fears being called a show-off at school and he feels like he doesnt fit in. His teacher said he often kept to himself and chose to work alone. I know as a teacher, you are incredibly busy, but could you keep an eye out for anyone teasing him or if he seems to be keeping to himself too much?Lastly, his therapist（理疗师） mentioned that because of the teasing and maybe because he was bored last year in school, he is showing signs of becoming an underachiever. Please let me know if his grades start slipping.Thank you for taking the time to read and understand about my child. Dont hesitate to call or email me if there are any problems with him at school. Believe me, we know very well how sensitive, emotional and intense he can be.I hope you have a wonderful school year!Sincerely,Mom of a Gifted Child41.

The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the jobs wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional (常规的) part-time work because it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carded out in 2020 by Britains Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.45. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?A. Work sharing requires more working hours.B. Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.D. Work sharing depends on the employers decision.46. According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work mainly because _.A. they sought higher social statusB. they were over ideal working agesC. they had difficulty finding full-time jobsD. they had to take care of both work and family47 In job sharing the partners should _.A. enjoy equal social status B. have similar work experienceC. keep in touch with each otherD. know each other very well48. The main purpose of the passage is to _.A. describe job sharing in general B. discuss how to provide more jobsC. recommend job sharing to women D. compare job sharing with work sharingCCollege graduation eventually means taking much of your attention in your first job search. This process can be challenging, especially for those students who had second thoughts about their chosen major and intended career pathor those who majored in a field not directly connected to a specific career. If you are in one of these groups, fear not! Although your major, coursework, and academic performance are relevant to landing a job, they are not the only deciding factors on where you can work. So, just how important is your major to your job search?Some majors are tied directly to specific career fields. For example, if you wish to become a teacher, you will likely have needed to complete an education program and eventually sit for a licensing exam. The same applies to majors in nursing. If you did not complete an accredited nursing program, you wont be able to take the nursing licensure exam. In these cases, successfully completing a specific major is crucial to landing a job in the matching field.Other majors, however, are closely related to career paths but dont necessarily require a degree in the area. For example, students who majored in finance, math, or statistics may also have the necessary skills to be hired as an accountant. Although social work majors are most prepared to provide case management services to struggling populations, students who majored in psychology or sociology can be just as qualified.Lastly, there are many industries, such as professional sales, education (non-teaching positions), insurance, and customer service management, which hire new graduates from several more majors, looking for more generalized requirements. They may simply want to know the student has completed his or her bachelors degree, which demonstrates college-level math and writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.Hopefully, as a college student, you were able to do more than just attend classes. Your non-academic experiences can be very influential on your future career as well. Did you work during college, volunteer, or participate in a club or organization? If so, and if you enjoyed these activities, seek out related careers. If you volunteered with a non-profit organization such as a homeless or domestic violence shelter, seek out positions in social services related to case management or victim advocacy(辩护). You may qualify for a position regardless of your major.Although it often seems like your college major alone determines your career fate, this just isnt the case. It may influence it, but there are other factors that influence your career options as well. If you dont know what career options to consider based on your major, talk to your faculty or academic advisor. You may be surprised at what opportunities await!49. To be a customer service manager, college graduates_.A. need to have related qualities B. should pass a licensing examC. are required to major in insuranceD. must have relevant experiences50. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Major Ups Your CareerB. Why Your College Major MattersC. How Important Your Major Is to Your JobD. Major VS Career: Which Is Right for You51.

D.CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C：Conclusion第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Bring Our Community TogetherCanada is a nation that prides itself on multi-culturalism and opportunity. _53_ Building social connections and a sense of belonging brings people together in ways that strengthen individual relationships as well as whole communities.There are several things that we can do to develop strong social connections and a sense of belonging:_54_ One of the simplest ways to bring a community together is through shared experience.
